TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION RESOLUTION from the American College of Nurse-Midwives
The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) is committed to creating a future that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion and supports the continuing process to become an anti-racist organization. Speaking the truth on our history and the harm caused by it through ACNM’s denial, gaslighting, censorship, and exclusion, is the first step in long overdue restorative measures for our community of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), allowing us to promote inclusion, belonging, and a safe space for all midwives. Therefore, ACNM is issuing the following statement that acknowledges the harms caused by its previous actions and establishes a set of resolutions in response We acknowledge that within the United States and the profession of midwifery: White women, through actions associated with the concepts of white feminism and white motherhood, have actively upheld white supremacy, which is the foundation that undergirds the crisis of whiteness facing the College today.
